AAA Switching to Hybrid Fleet

AAA of Northern California will be swapping out its entire fleet of 400 vehicles with gasoline-electric Ford Escape and Toyota Prius models, starting with the purchase of about 250 hybrid vehicles in 2006. The rest will be replaced during the next two years. The hybrids will be driven primarily by insurance employees at the auto club. The vehicles, most of which will be white and display AAA logos on their sides, will be purchased through AAA's Vehicle Purchasing Service, which prearranges favorable prices with hundreds of dealers. This move is part of the AAA Greenlight Initiative, a program that aims to promote new fuels and automotive technologies. Greenlight Initiative is found at www.aaa.com/greenlight.
